Since a child, all my toys, i reap them apart and custom with gun, missiles, bigger wheels. Competing in races that allow even monster truck, and of course off road vehicles. And call it hellroad, where just one rule survive to win. Now someone did it with a 70's roger corman film call Death Race 2000, that became cult film. Now they grease it up, put some wheal, rusted a bit, and gave it a R rated, adding one of the meanest mother "·$% star of today, and bless my heart it was directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. somebody have been playing twisted metal or jak x racing for this:
The economic was broken, causing lots unemployment around the country, factory's small business were shutting down, it was chaos, crimes were up, overcrowding the jails, so to control this problems, the pen where taken by major corporation, turning every inmate, into competitors for cage's fighting, but then the public wanted more. Deathrace was born. Former nascar driver champion Jensen Ames(Jason Statham) was enjoying the's last day of work receiving hes' last paycheck, Going home where the wife was preparing dinner, and the born daughter were waiting, by the time he go to check the baby there was breaking, where jensen wast knock unconscious, waking up he see a knife and blood on he's hand, and beside him, the corpse of he's wife, the cops arrive, arresting him, frame he is send to terminal city penitentiary, where every killer, psycho, rapist, was lock up, and run by Warden Hennenssy(Joan Allen), who also control the most watch racing game of all time, making a deal to jensen to drive, and replace he's late star Frankenstein, and win 3 races, for he's freedom. Now he's we be racing with the best mechanics the coach(Ian Mcshane) and the very hot latin navigator Case(Natalie Martinez), facing all kind of challenges from he's arch rival Machinber guy joe(Tyrese Gibson), the dreaded half of a football stadium truck dreadnaut, to the man that kill her wife. This aint no fast or furius crapt, or another drive sequel, this is racing as the killing point, where the life's are run over, speed are the main weapon's, for ratings. Let the motor roar for death race.
Jason Statham role, is like he's previous films, from the transporter to crank, in other word he's always on speed. Joan character was nothing original playing as the manipulator of the game, having the same resemblances to Meryl Streep in the devil wear Prada, just to serious. Tyrese Gybson well got to wait for him until transformers 2. The character who really gets the laugh of the movie go to Ian McShane, he's role ain't anything out of the ordinary. But he always get the best lines.
The film story have so much in common to adam sandler the longest Yard, same the warden want to get the best athlete, for he's jail, later rig the sport, threading him. Yeah we have seen that so many time, so what make it worth watching, the crashes, and the action Paul always know he's art for making action film, and here 's he deliver, from the driving over the plates that activated the weapon's or the traps of the car to the introduction of the dreadnought(taken the name from the biker gang of the G.I Joe) were the real suspense comes, i mean i never seen something that got (by saying) a tank cannon of a bottom. The chopper chase reminded me off ransom where the light always shine on the kidnappers, getting away in bikes.
It was great that Paul put the actual producer off Roger Corman to produce it, and i swear that the original frankenstein David Carradine appearing at the beginning of the film. The movie, is hand on the wheel, where everything is made and shot in old school. Were only the maps and the programs are the cg magic, speed racer should have gonna that away.
Paul deliver another action summer flick, closing the summer with it. Ain't got nothing of good acting. But the racing and the action make it for a DVD must. Hey you can envy the guy by marrying the beautiful women on the planet Alice herself. But he doesn't sink like Uwe for making great action picture. Here hoping for a follow up or even better a comic sequel. Hey i m still wating for Neil for that sequel for doomsday, why not for this, only this time lets go all baja 1000 Mexican style. oh yeah i write that.
